Dynamic New Animation presents

Puss In Boots

Directed by Steve Tiplady

A silly man, a cunning cat and a smelly ogre.  They all want the same thing - a palace, a kingdom and the love of a princess.  But who will win?

Using puppetry, clowning and song, this was a magical and witty adaptation of our favourite feline tale, exploring the endearing relationship between man and moggy!

Funnybones

By Janet and Allan Ahlberg

This is the story of three skeletons who are lonely.  One big skeleton, one little skeleton and a third skeleton, who is a dog. They are looking for people to scare, but everybody is sleeping except for them.  So, they decide to scare each other!

A cheeky story of fun, frights and friendship.

The Fish's Wishes image.Family Friendly logo. Sat 17 June - ARCHIVE EVENT

Lyngo Theatre Company, in a co-production with the Half Moon People's Theatre

and Teatro Groggia, Venice, presents

The Fish's Wishes

By Marcello Chiarenza, from an idea by Raffaella Meregalli

A little fish who lives in a glass of water escapes into the airy world to eat bubbles,

pick up tears and drink stars from a bowl.

Why is the sky blue?

What do all the fish say at the bottom of the sea?

And where do they keep the salt?
